     Reading this section of the the textbook, I saw how the different world organizations which came about because of globalization helped to both build the modern world, due to their role in the global economy and their role in global peace. The quote " If anything, globalization has helped to increase the number of such problems" made me think about how globalization isn't always a good thing. Even though I believe that globalization is a good thing the majority of the time, it occurred to me that some of the world's issues came about or maybe got worsened by globalization. One instance of this is climate change, which was worsened by the world's plunge into an industrialized society. This only got worse when the revolution was brought to the entire world, exponentially making the issues that came from it much worse. Many of the organizations that help to boost the world's economy market themselves as being saviors to everyone they touch, but many smaller nations with smaller economy's tend to suffer because of them and get the shorter end of the stick in these situations. I like the quote of "This issue still afflicts the United Nations, for example, because it often does the bidding of powerful members rather than promote common interests" because it really does say what I am thinking, with all the good that these organizations bring they don't always create a fair outcome and tend to prefer the interests of wealthier nations that have larger voting power within these organizations. I can also see that some of the environmental organizations tend to favor larger nations who can afford to follow their regulations. As much as I support everything these organizations do and I am on their side, it would be unfair to not look at the fact that these regulations can harm the economics of smaller nations who do not have the capital to cater to these regulations.
